Magnetic North Theatre Festival

| |

Just got in from a lovely lunchtime visit to media launch event for The Magnetic North Theatre Festival, which is happening in June.

I am so psyched for this 10 day event that is going to take over KW with theatre people from all over Canada… and the world i guess.

How EXCITING is that???

Many more details as we get closer to the event, but I wanted to tell you that they ARE looking for volunteers, and maybe YOU have been looking for a low key way to get involved in the city?

They are looking for people to help out in these areas: (pre-festival) administration, fundraising, helping collate info kits (during festival) front of house, drivers, help with hospitality, transportation dispatch.

Here’s a couple of the benefits of volunteering:

  • An invitation to our opening and closing night parties.
  • One pre-booked, guaranteed seat per 8 hours of volunteer work, with access to all other festival productions and Magnetic Encounters events on a stand-by basis.
  • Magnetic North T-shirt.

If you’re interested, fill out the form on this INFO SITE.

Uptown Comedy Festival

| |

Hit up the Uptown Comedy Festival on Saturday night!

Really good night out with some very very funny entertainment.

It was a packed house, which made the whole seating thing a bit of a nightmare, but close to go-time we snagged some pretty sweet seats. So it all worked out.

I thought Ninia Benjamin was hilarious, like… i was crying laughing at one point… but the boys preferred  Ryan Belleville… who was also awesome.

There’s a couple things I think they should tweak for next year – but overall, great event.

Did you go? Who’d you see?
